Most coarse fish arent for me personally...even mullet that have been up.the river too.long arent good... but great from the sea.. Smoked fresh water eel on the other hand is food from the gods!! Lol Never had eel but ye I can imagine it is, I'm gonna have to try more course fish with the lake District on my doorstep and the nearest sea the colour of tea the Aussies rate perch as one of the finest you can eat I think and they know a thing or two bout eating fish. That said I do like our tradition of putting course fish back our rivers and lakes are lifting compared to most places due to it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My interest was sparked when I seen you posting pics about 2yrs ago on here. This video is very informative about using an anchor on a kayak. He is using a fish finder and gps also he's got some good vids on his channel. The trolley system seems very clever to anchor the boat at the back or front. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
